Tall buildings, green trees, blue sea, blue sky, beautiful Qingdao. I like to get off the bus. After leaving the station, I take a look at the train station. The architectural style of Qingdao Railway Station is very special. At first glance, I thought it was a church.
I almost marveled that this was the most beautiful train station I had ever seen.
Not modern reinforced glass, but European and romantic.
After taking pictures, we took a taxi to the hotel we booked in advance. The hotel was originally booked on Ctrip.com, but Ctrip’s operator was not very familiar with Qingdao, so we found a local reservation center in Qingdao, Ruitu Travel Network, whose operator was familiar with Qingdao hotels.
The familiarity was very satisfactory, and the points were more cost-effective, so I booked Qingdao Donghai Hotel.
Not mentioned all the way.
After arriving at the Donghai Hotel, we were all fascinated by this hotel. It is located in the famous Badaguan Scenic Area in the center of Qingdao, surrounded by the sea on three sides. The first and second bathing beaches are close to the hotel and are adjacent to each other.
, is an international business conference hotel with full sea view.
After checking into the hotel, we entered the guest room and looked out the window. We had an unobstructed view of the most beautiful sea and mountains in Qingdao.
Several of us are praising this reservation center recommended by our friends, because we all know that when we travel and stay, we are in a good mood and have fun.
After having dinner in the evening, I went to bed.
Sleep until dawn, open the curtains, ah!
This scene is so beautiful. The sun rises slowly, the mountains and rivers shine, the sky and the sea meet, and the myriad of weather conditions are so mesmerizing.
After breakfast we went to quite a few places, let me pick the ones that impressed me most.
The first is Laoshan.
Laoshan Mountain is very big and has three or four scenic spots.
Originally we planned to pick three famous places in the scenic spots and travel all the way.
It turned out later that there was no way to cross the three scenic spots.
So in the end we went to Beijiushui.
This is a place famous for its natural landscape.
Because there was a heavy rain the day before we went to Laoshan, the water supply in Beijiu was very abundant. In the words of the locals, the day we came was the best.
The clear spring water, the surrounding steep mountains, and the lush green trees are really beautiful.
Along the way, we saw Deyu Pond, Deyi Pond, Zizhuo Pond... and many waterfalls.
The feeling of rushing thousands of miles really makes us immersed in the charm of nature.
Especially the Chaoyin Waterfall, the water is very fast, flowing down the almost 90-degree mountain wall, breaking the green sunglasses-like pool at the bottom of the mountain. That formation~~Weizhu Temple is a must-see.
At the top of the mountain, the view with an area of ??700 square meters is like a scene.
It takes two hours to climb from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is 1,800 meters from the top of the mountain to Chaoyin Waterfall. It takes another two hours to climb from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
A group of us, relying on our strong willpower, climbed to the top of the mountain.
On the mountainside, sitting on the stone steps, listening to the chirping of birds in the jungle and the chirping of cicadas, listening to my own thick breathing, looking up at the sky surrounded by thousand-year-old trees, looking down at the dripping water from my chin
The sweat was like being separated from the noisy world. For a moment, I thought of Qingyun Mountain in Zhu Xian, and it felt great.
The charm of Weizhu Temple, you have to see it with your own eyes to know what a hermit's place is.
At the ticket gate of Beijiushui, there is also a statue of the Haier brothers, which is quite funny.
Beijiushui is beautiful ~ Badaguan is a criss-crossing road.
In the quiet environment, there are tall sycamore trees, beautiful ginkgo trees, etc., and among the green leaves, there are various buildings faintly visible.
Since it was raining heavily that day, we didn't get to know much about the rumored magical house types. We only took a look at Chiang Kai-shek's residence, Huashi Building.
We also went to the Princess Tower where the Danish Princess has a view.
The weather spoiled everyone's fun, so we didn't have much impression of this scenic spot with high expectations.
May 4th Square and Music Square: The first time I went to May 4th Square, it was a heavy rainstorm, sparsely populated, and the Olympic timing boards that only started counting down on the 8th were not working yet, which was very boring.
I couldn't find the music square either.
The second time I went there was on the 9th.
The weather was good, with relatively strong winds and scattered rain and showers.
Suddenly there were many people in the square.
The countdown sign also started flashing.
That day happened to be 365 days before the opening of the Olympic Games. It was auspicious. There was a red landmark building with the name "Wind of May" on May Fourth Square.
It was designed by a college student.
The reason why there is May Fourth Square is because the trigger of the May Fourth Movement was the issue of Qingdao's sovereignty.
To commemorate this movement, this square was built.
On that day, there were many kites in the square, and the most popular one was a very big octopus kite.
Looking down from the music square, it looks like there is a concert, with bronze statues playing various musical instruments, a conductor, music scores on the ground, and audience seats around it.
It's just a pity that the bronze statue of the musical instrument that Mei Mei missed so much to see was demolished a year ago due to excessive damage~ There, we only saw the sculptures of Nie Er and Xian Xinghai, and the music scores on the ground.
There is a sculpture called "Landscape", and I also asked a street artist to draw a portrait of someone eating corn.
Overall, it's pretty good.
On the seaside promenade linking May Fourth Square and Music Square, there are many stalls selling various souvenirs.
On the opposite side of the sea is the Olympic Village and the sailing competition area filled with flags of many countries.
Zhanqiao, Little Qingdao: The Zhanqiao extending into the sea faces Little Qingdao across the sea.
It is a good place to watch the sea.
At the trestle, I first went to see the small pavilion and walked around the long bridge. Of course, I wanted to look for the shell souvenirs sold there.
